Improve IA structural performance, experience quality, and business impact with IA analytics.

IA analytics evaluates the integrity of your information architecture and the impact it has on usability, strategic design outcomes, and key business drivers.

Information architects trained in structural design analytics assist with impact analysis.

baseline

The baseline phase assesses the integrity, risk, and annual cost of your information architecture.

benchmark

The benchmark phase establishes usability and financial impact correlations.

Measure

The measure phase tracks and correlates key metrics, business-focused metrics, and ROI.

Phases of IA Structure Analytics

IA analytics consists of three phases and integrates easily into any team and software development lifecycle. Once in place and administered by a qualified structural analyst, digital teams gain a powerful evaluative capability that enables actionable insights.

Analyze & Baseline

Analytics begins with an audit and baseline of a user interface’s structural design and dependencies.

The 6Analytx platform maintains a metamodel of concept structure and provides the foundation for diagnostics. 

Outcome

  • Working Metamodel
  • Baseline of Structural Integrity
  • Gap and Risk Assessment
  • Total Cost of Ownership

Benchmark

Knowing what to measure is 80% of the effort. The benchmark phase isolates several performance-based indicators and over 100 heuristic data points that impact effective IA structure.

The 6Analytx platform manages the computation necessary for correlating your environment’s concept baseline to key metrics.

Outcome

  • Metrics Alignment
  • Structural Design Benchmarks
  • Financial Impact Benchmarks
  • Roadmap & Prioritization

Measure

Once a structural baseline is in place and key metrics are established, teams can correlate insights from a specialized concept dependency survey, user research, and data from other systems as needed.

The 6Analytx platform evaluates the impact of existing and remediated structural design over time. It ingests survey data and keeps it synched to the structural baseline.

Structural design analysts synthesize the data and assist their team with prioritization and impact analysis.


Outcome

  • Performance Insights
  • Concept Dependency Score
  • Impact Valuations
  • Key Financial Metrics
